Chrome, FireFox and Safari have released updates which disable SSLv3 protocol. The latest version of IE “does not” disable it. You can see if your browser is affected by visiting this website: http://www.poodletest.com/

On the picture below, the browser on the left is the latest version of IE. The browser on the right is Chrome:

You can fix this in IE by going to internet settings, advanced:

And now when you visit…

Because this “fix” must be done on the “client side”… servers that use SSL must disable SSLv3 so the browsers are forced to use TLS instead of SSLv3. If a server has SSLv3 disabled and IE (modern version) visits it… it will default to TLS even if the IE browser does not have SSLv3 disabled in the browser. Older browsers such as IE6 that don’t support TLS will find life difficult to do any ecommerce on the internet.

Click ‘advanced’ on the top right.
On that page, click on the ‘update’ tab and uncheck Thunderbird and installed Add-ons

click ok.
done.

Did you know you can send SMS messages directly from Outlook 2010 using your Google Voice account? I came across a great little program that lets you do just that! This Youtube video pretty much tells you everything you need to know and the best part? It’s free.

How can you be “sure” it’s working before you change your dns at the registrar? The fastest and easiest way to do this is to update your ‘hosts’ file on your local computer.

Locate the hosts file on your local computer.

On a NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Win7 machine it’s located here: C:windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Open the file in a text editor like notepad.exe. You will want to “Run as Administrator”. (right click)

Browse to the location of that hosts file and add the new IP and domain. You will want to do it twice with and without the www like so…

Now edit the file to put in your new IP address and your domain like so… then hit save:

In order to make the changes take effect you must now flush your dns cache. Close all your browsers.

Then open up a command prompt (start, run type: cmd) and type this:

ipconfig /flushdns

That’s it. Your done. When you open your browser, you should be looking at your website on the new hosting provider’s IP address. To switch back, re-edit the hosts file, remove the entries, flush your dns and you are back to the way you were before.
